Kings Heath & Moseley Places for People - west of High Street March 2024 update

Overview

Following approval from Birmingham City Council Cabinet in January 2023, work has been undertaken to produce designs for a more permanent scheme here, building on the existing measures that were delivered in October 2020.

While there has been local support for this scheme, it is recognised that there have been issues with larger vehicles needing to reverse along sections of these residential streets. There have also been ongoing challenges with bollards being removed without permission or deliberately damaged, creating safety concerns and disproportionate maintenance costs.

A proposed new arrangement of one-way streets and diagonal modal filters will continue to ensure that through-traffic is unable to cut through this area, while enabling access to all properties without the need to turn around or reverse.

York Road

We are also proposing some changes to the pedestrianised area of York Road. These changes seek to address ongoing issues with unauthorised vehicles entering and travelling through this pedestrian zone, while still ensuring that the access and loading/unloading requirements of local businesses can be satisfactorily provided for.

Copies of letters with further details on why these changes are required, along with copies of the draft plans, can be found under the 'Related' heading at the bottom of this page.

All changes will be subject to a new Traffic Regulation Order which will include a period of statutory consultation on these proposals prior to implementation.
